HBO 24/7
EPISODE 2
RIDICULE ON ANOTHER ROAD TO CITY OF EVIL
Wednesday October 10th - Tuesday October 16th

Only one episode done and already Nick Ridicule has stirred up a
wide amount of controversy. Complaints about not only the length of
episode one, but some of the content as well have been received by
HBO.

Nick Ridicule wrote:So HBO calls me this morning. They didn't record
me on the phone because that breaks some rule that they themselves made
up. They tell me they want more of some things, less of other things. I
tell them that I believe in one thing now, that one thing is Anarchy. I
believe everyone should do and should be able to do, anything they want
to do, no matter if it is labeled as ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ This belief that
I am the law and law is lawless has gotten me into some trouble, but it
is also responsible for all the amazing things I have ever been able to
do. So HBO wants to tell me how to do things? I told them to fuck off.
This is my show, if you don't like it, don't watch it. FUCK YOU! Do what
you wanna do. But don't come to me complaining just because you didn't
get what you expected. I did things my way and I believe I delivered
exactly what I intended to deliver. Don't ask me to be on your show,
don't ask me to be Nick Ridicule, if you aren't prepared to face the
consequences! I'm going to continue to do whatever I want, and if these
cameramen survive, you'll be damn fortunate!

It has become clear, that the Nick Ridicule attitude was
beginning to return into form as the contract signing was set to take
place later in the day. Still with an entire month until the marque
match-up, the show seems to be more about the transformation into his
former self, than anything else.

11:11AM
Birthday Bash
Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Nick Ridicule
The First Family of the Federation!

The show begins fading in on Nick Ridicule inside his luxurious hotel room.

Nick Ridicule
This is the first time I think our family has ever been united like this.

Robbie Hart
Reunited and it feels so good!

Robbie Hart walks past the camera, stopping to look at it. He keeps
walking, disappearing into a different room. Nick Ridicule maintains his
seat on the couch, looking ahead at the camera.

Nick Ridicule
Just look at the talent this family has. Think
of the amazing things we each have been able to accomplish as
individuals, then put all of that together. All the years of experience,
all of the championship reigns, the fact that we each have our best
interest at heart, considering we’re family, we’re all each other really
has. We’ve each watched as what we thought we had, was ripped away to
nothing. Each one of us has been to the top of the world, then fallen to
the bottom of it!

Nick Ridicule gets more and more intense as he speaks.

Nick Ridicule
They say in this business, that the higher you
rise, the further you fall. That is the damn truth. You think back to
anyone, however high they rise, they fall from so much higher. So you
have to imagine the fall I had to survive. I’m a sixteen time major
title holder. I’m a platinum recording rockstar. I was not just the
first man to hold all three major titles at the same time, I was the
second man to do it as well! I have achieved more in this industry than
anyone and my fall was the most vicious of all.

He holds his arms out.

Nick Ridicule
Yet.. Here I am. Prepared to do it again. For
the first time in years, I am back to one hundred percent. I didn’t have
to fight with a broken neck, a broken back, torn shoulders! I got to
rest. I watched as the industry past me by, still no one able to come
close to anything I was able to achieve. I watched James Shark become a
star finally.

Nick Ridicule nods his head.

Nick Ridicule
James Shark. You haven’t fallen yet. It’s funny
to me that you think you’ve fallen. James Shark believes that his fall
happened back in 2009. He’s put all of his belief into that and it’s
made him a star, no doubt about it.

Nick Ridicule shakes his head “no”

Nick Ridicule
That was a small fall. James Shark has also
believed he was a star. Which is a great way to make it. Fake it till
you make it, right? The problem is, he’s never really made it. He has
convinced the world that he made it. He may be black, but compare him to
Nick Ridicule, and his career pales in comparison.

Robbie Hart can be heard laughing from the other room. Nick Ridicule smirks.

Nick Ridicule
I whooped James Shark, ending his startup hype.
I had my startup hype ended by Demetrius fucking Randall! Big whoop. I
started 8-0 in the NLWF and held championships. You didn’t even manage
that! In one week I beat you, won the Junior Heavyweight Championship,
won a championship case from Shadow Demon, used said Championship case
to cash in on Aaron O’Shea to become the Universal Champion.

Nick Ridicule sneers at the camera, the intensity returning.

Nick Ridicule
I ended your startup hype and you ran away from
the NLWF like a little bitch, because you knew you sucked and didn’t
deserve to be in the ring with the best! I ruined your stupid little
confidence gimmick once and the nightmare Nick Ridicule has returned to
ruin it again!

When my startup hype was destroyed, I didn’t run away like a bitch, like
a James Shark! I kept fighting and damn it, I kept losing! I lost to
Mexican Samurai, I lost to Death-Angel, I lost to Johnny Stylez and they
fired me! But I took my losses like a man, I didn’t run from them!

They fired my ass, while you voided a contract to get the fuck out! You
ran away and pretended things never happened, bringing your phony ass
confidence elsewhere to beat up scrubs.

When I was fired, I went to Mexico and fought Lucha Libre. I didn’t
bring a style that wasn’t working elsewhere, I went elsewhere to create a
style that would work! What makes you think your confidence crap is
going to work on me now, when it didn’t work on me then?

I went to Mexico and I became Triple S, the most feared, most revered
crossover from No Limits. Triple S, for those of you who are slow like
James Shark or have been living under a rock, stands for Salvation’s
Soul Survivor.

Brenton Cyrus and Chuck Matthews managed to escape the grasp of my
Salvation, when a trade changed the wrestling world. Brenton Cyrus and
Alex Mark traded to Legacy. Everything I built up, everything I worked
for, Salvation, the greater good of the wrestling industry, gone because
of those two ego maniacs.

But I made it work for me. I didn’t cry like a James Shark bitch and run
to use the same old shit somewhere else. The guy hasn’t evolved in
three years! He lost a ton of weight so that he’s not a fatass anymore, I
think he also cut like eight years off his age, but that’s about it!

Once you hear my story over the course of these episodes, you will see
that my journey buries the journey of James Shark. You will know for a
fact that he is not in my league. You’ll realize that no one is in my
league. I will destroy James Shark.

I went to Mexico and I destroyed lucha after lucha, becoming the most
hated man there. But they respected me. They saw what I was capable of
doing and they respected it. By the time I was ready to leave, I had
people who hated me, cheering what I had done in the month I spent
there.

I only left because NLWF came crawling back. Maybe crawling is a bit
much, but I would have NLWF crawling soon enough. I realized I couldn’t
return as Alex Mark. NLWF had killed him. Losing to his father had
killed him. I also couldn’t go as Triple S as it would have been
disrespectful to everything I owed Mexico.

I needed a name that would strike terror into anyone who used it, anyone who thought of it, anyone who was forced to face it.

Nick F’N Ridicule.

Robbie Hart enters the room again.

Robbie Hart
I’ll be back, I have to go check something out!

Nick Ridicule
You alright?

Robbie Hart
Yeah, just gotta take care of a few things for later. I’ll call you before the party to let you know what’s up!

Robbie Hart hurries past and exits. Johnny Styles enters the room and has a seat near Nick Ridicule.

Johnny Styles
Nick Ridicule.. How did you even come up with that?

Nick Ridicule
I used to think it was because I remembered my
birth mother calling me Nick. But, I later found out when talking to
Jada that she was calling me manic.

Johnny Styles laughs out loud.
Nick Ridicule
Then I figured since you used styles, I would
use ridicule. Originally it was to mock you, then it just drifted off
into mocking everyone.

Johnny Styles
MaNick F’N Ridicule!

Nick Ridicule shakes his head. His cell phone begins to go off.

[I can't wait for you to shut me up]
[And make me hip like badass]
[I can't wait for you to shut me up]
[Shut it up]

He looks at the phone then answers it.

Nick Ridicule
Yo, Silva, what’s up?

He listens nodding his head.

Nick Ridicule
Yeah, everything is ready.

Johnny Styles raises an eyebrow at the camera and smirks.
Nick Ridicule
Great, see you then.

Nick Ridicule hangs up the phone, a wide smile on his face.

Nick Ridicule
How would you fellas like to go to Brazil for UFC 153?

Johnny Styles
Yes! So much Brazilian booty!

Frank Hart enters.

Frank Hart
Styles, get your head out of Brazilian ass! Nick, don’t you think you
should focus on staying close to where City of Evil takes place, staying
close to the family. We can train you right out of our gym.

Nick Ridicule looks at Johnny Styles. He begins to motion with his hands
slapping a big Brazilian booty. Nick Ridicule looks at Johnny Styles
still doing the motion, a hilarious look on his face. He then looks at
Frank Hart, staring at him dead serious.

Nick Ridicule
I’m pretty sure Robbie would vote, BIG BRAZILIAN BOOTY! So, we’re going to Brazil!

Johnny Styles
SCORE!

Nick Ridicule stands up and walks past a celebrating Johnny Styles. He approaches Frank Hart.

Nick Ridicule
Anderson Silva wants me in his corner, I’m not
going to decline after what Black House has done for me. I still have an
entire month to train for City of Evil and I’m fighting a one
dimensional non issue of an opponent. This will be a warm up match with a
guy who’s fire is already burning. You can count on me to deliver
against Shark.

Frank Hart
Don’t blow this.

The shot fades away. It returns with The First Family of the Federation
stepping out the hotel. The watch as a stretch ford ranger limousine
arrives. Robbie Hart opens the back door, stepping out.

Robbie Hart
Who here is ready to party?

Nick Ridicule smirks looking as Johnny Styles and Frank Hart go ahead
and enter the limousine. Nick Ridicule turns around to look at the
camera.

Nick Ridicule
I called you fucks a cab, you can’t ride with us.

Nick Ridicule turns his back and walks to the limousine.

Nick Ridicule
See you there!

He gets into the back of the limousine and it pulls away. The shot fades
away. The show returns outside of the Brenton Cyrus Mansion as the
stretch ford ranger limousine arrives. Kaylee Hunter claps her hands as
the driver gets out and runs around the large vehicle. The driver opens
the door and Nick Ridicule steps out, followed by Robbie Hart.

Robbie Hart
Clapping for us already, cuz!

Nick Ridicule
I would have been more impressed if she gave me a standing ovation.

The shot shows Kaylee Hunter in her wheelchair as Johnny Stylez and
Frank Hart exit the limousine following their sons. A mixed reaction of
cheers and boos comes from the mansion, inside and out, as all eyes are
now on them.

Johnny Stylez
The No Limit Wrestling Federation, has NEVER, EVER, LOOKED SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! GOOD!

The party goers can’t help but pop at the legendary catch phrase of Johnny Stylez, turning boos into cheers.

Frank Hart
Stop cheering, none of you had a damn thing to do with it!

Nick Ridicule looks inside the limousine.

Nick Ridicule
You coming?

He waits, then shrugs his shoulders.

Nick Ridicule
This shouldn’t take long.

He shuts the door and walks up the red carpet to join the others. He
gets face to face with Spitta Andretti, walking right past James Shark.
Nick Ridicule stares angrily at Spitta Andretti, who looks back
confused.

Nick Ridicule
So.. Here we are.. Face to face again! You’re lucky I don’t bury you right now Shark!

Spitta Andretti shakes his head.

Spitta Andretti
Man, you trippin! Shutup with that! BangBang!

Nick Ridicule
No, you shutup! I’ve waited a long time to ring your scrawny little neck and I don’t think I can wait for City of Evil!

Robbie Hart rushes up to Nick Ridicule, grabbing his shoulder.

Robbie Hart
Yo mang! That’s not Shark! Shark is behind you!

Nick Ridicule looks at Robbie Hart, then he looks ahead at Spitta
Andretti again. He squints his eyes, then looks at Robbie Hart again.

Nick Ridicule
You sure?

Robbie Hart
Shark and I were tag team champs, this isn’t him!

Nick Ridicule scratches his head, then turns around slowly. He steps up to V.I.P and grabs him by his shirt.

Nick Ridicule
Alright Shark, I’ve had enough of your mirror
like games! Stop fooling around and lets sign this contract already
before you try to get out of it again!

V.I.P looks at Nick Ridicule in total disbelief.

V.I.P
Have you lost your damn mind?

Nick Ridicule
You’re damn right I’ve lost my damn mind!

V.I.P tries to push a very uncomfortably close Nick Ridicule away from
him. Nick Ridicule holds onto the vest of V.I.P, who has to use his arms
to force him to let go.

V.I.P
I’m not James Shark you jackass!

Nick Ridicule turns to Robbie Hart who is shaking his head.

Nick Ridicule
Is he fucking with me? He’s fucking around right?

Robbie Hart continues to shake his head. Nick Ridicule looks at Ashten Cross.

Nick Ridicule
Well I know you’re not James Shark!

James Shark has enough and grabs Nick Ridicule turning him around to go
face to face. James Shark does everything in his power to keep himself
from hitting Nick Ridicule, but his arm shakes violently at his side.
Nick Ridicule stinks his chin out with a smirk on his face.

Nick Ridicule
That’s the Shark I was looking for!

The two men stare at each other psychotically having the best stare down
between the two up to this point. Tommy Cornell pretends to pull out a
samurai sword to cut through the tension in the background.

James Shark
I can’t WAIT, to knock yo ass out!

Nick Ridicule smiles wide and blows James Shark a kisses.

Nick Ridicule
Keep dreaming princess.

James Shark screams in the face of Nick Ridicule.

James Shark
AGAIN!

Nick Ridicule winks at James Shark.

Nick Ridicule
This time I wont let you!

James Shark shoves Nick Ridicule who is caught by Robbie Hart and Ashten
Cross. Nick Ridicule laughs hysterically as he backs up past the two
men.

James Shark
That’s bullshit and you know it!

James Shark goes to rush Nick Ridicule, but his crew steps in to stop and calm him down.

Nick Ridicule
That must drive you crazy!

James Shark pushes people off of him, not wanting anyone to touch him.

James Shark
Get off me, I’m sick of his lies! Liar!

Nick Ridicule shouts over the commotion.

Nick Ridicule
Knowing the biggest win of your career was a fluke!

Nick Ridicule continues to laugh out loud in a obnoxious manner.

Nick Ridicule
The only liar is you, lying to yourself if you believe I didn’t let you win!

James Shark goes to rush Nick Ridicule again, getting close this time.
He reaches his arm out but Nick Ridicule leans back avoiding him as he’s
pulled away.

James Shark
Keep making excuses, you wont have any after City of Evil!

Nick Ridicule fakes scared, then laughs it off.

Nick Ridicule
I wont need any, I’ll be showing everyone that you can’t beat me!

Robbie Hart, Johnny Stylez, and Frank Hart follow Nick Ridicule into the house, walking past James Shark who is visibly upset.

John Greed
Tommy, stop cutting with imagination!

Tommy Cornell
It’s just so… INTENSE!

Tommy Cornell delivers one last slice of the tension, then performs a hara-kiri with the imaginary sword.

Tommy Cornell
Alright, I’m all good.

John Greed
I remember calling that second match between Ridicule and Shark, it was as uncomfortable a scene as the one we just witnessed!

Tommy Cornell
I knew Nick had a plan the entire time, I never thought it involved throwing a match.

James Shark
HE DIDN’T THROW THAT MATCH! I WHOOPED HIS ASS!

Tommy Cornell
But he didn’t fight back. I could kick your ass if you didn’t fight back.

John Greed
Regardless of how it happened, the only fact is that they’ve each won a
match against each other. It’s one to one and they have an enormous task
of lifting NLWF back to its podium at City of Evil!

The shot cuts inside showing Nick Ridicule following by his family into the party area.

Robbie Hart
You sure are pissing him off!

Frank Hart
Why would you do that? He fights vicious enough as it is!

Johnny Styles
You don’t understand showmanship!

Nick Ridicule smirks as they take the corner of the room, set up for them.

Nick Ridicule
James Shark is going to come in aggressive, If I
can burn him out with his hate, he’ll be easy to destroy once he’s
burnt himself out. I’m going to rope a dope.

Frank Hart
Rope a dope doesn’t work if he knocks you out! Then you’re the dope!

Nick Ridicule
Trust me, this will work. James Shark has
beaten everyone because he’s the one that gets them pissed off. His
trash talk is meant to get under the skin of his opponent so it’ll throw
them off in the ring. He can’t get under my skin. He has nothing on me.
So instead, I’m going to kill him with his own game. I’m going to be
the aggressor, I’m going to pick his confidence apart, I’m going to
throw him off his center so come fight time, he’ll be all mine!

They look at Nick Ridicule silently.

Nick Ridicule
I’ve got this and I’m going to show everyone exactly how to beat this guy.

Nick Ridicule nods his head.

Nick Ridicule
Now go party, have a good time, don’t let my burden stop you from having a great time.

The shot fades away on Nick Ridicule as he’s handed a drink. John Greeds joins Nick Ridicule, sitting nearby.

John Greed
Mr. Ridicule! How are you enjoying the party so far?

Nick Ridicule shrugs.

Nick Ridicule
You can call me Nick. I must say that I’m
enjoying it so far. You saw how pissed off I was able to make Shark.
Imagine an entire month leading in to City of Evil, where I get him even
more pissed off and show him that he can’t do anything about it.

John Greed
You seem to have this fight locked and others agree, how do you think James Shark sees it?

Nick Ridicule
Well he should see it as the greatest
opportunity of his entire life time. This should be it for him and
nothing else should matter. Because if he does not see it that way,
he’ll miss.

John Greed
At the last City of Evil I walked away from the match where Bad Company
was delivering a savage beat down on you, have you recovered from said
beat down?

Nick Ridicule
Now, yes. But following that match I was more
broken down than I have ever been before. I thought for sure I would be
able to pass my torch off to Brandon MacDonald, but he let me down worse
than anyone. So when I had to pick up the slack he left behind, I was
unable to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders once again.

John Greed
Is there without a doubt in your mind that you will defeat James Shark?

Nick Ridicule
I already have.

Carver Ocean stumbles through interview. The people point and stare, some laughing others shaking their heads in disgust.

Nick Ridicule
Look at this fucker..

Carver Ocean
The games not over!

Carver Ocean pushes past people as he struggles to find Brenton Cyrus.

John Greed
C’mon, lets follow him to see if he makes a fool out of himself again.

Carver Ocean stumbles past the front door and stairs into the other party. Looking around he searches for Brenton Cyrus.

Tommy Cornell
HAHAHA! THAT FOOL CARVER OCEAN HAS FINALLY WOKEN UP!

Carver Ocean
FOOL?!

Tommy Cornell finally stops dancing and drops his glow sticks. He walks over to Carver Ocean.

Tommy Cornell
F-O-O-L! You know, that thing you are!

Carver Ocean
I don’t have time for you to talk about yourself. Where is Brenton Cyrus?

Tommy Cornell points out of the room. Carver Ocean looks to see Brenton
Cyrus talking to Alison Williams. As he does, Tommy Cornell slips a beer
into the pocket of Carver Ocean. Tommy Cornell laughs.

Tommy Cornell
Well there he is right there. Why don’t you go outshine him?!

John Greed
They say third times the charm!

As Carver Ocean leaves, everyone laughing at him. Carver Ocean passes by
Nick Ridicule on his way outside. Carver Ocean interrupts Brenton Cyrus
and Alison Williams, stepping out of the mansion, drunken.

Carver Ocean
Where did you run off to?! The game isn’t over yet!

Alison Williams
You lost! Get over it! Now what were you going to say, Brenton?

Carver Ocean walks down the steps, falling down to the red carpet. He
hurries to his feet but everyone has already seen him fall and is
laughing.

Carver Ocean
I didn’t lose!

■■□Brenton Cyrus□■■
Dude, it’s my birthday, Fuck Off!

Tommy Cornell and John Greed exit the mansion, trying to get Carver Ocean away from Brenton Cyrus and Alison Williams.

Tommy Cornell
Yeah dude, it’s his birthday.

John Greed
Fuck off!

Carver Ocean doesn’t allow Tommy Cornell or John Greed to grab a hold of him.

Carver Ocean
OOOOHHH! I AM SOOOO SORRY! PLEASE! FORGIVE ME GOD. ALMIGHTYFUL, SPITEFUL, DICK! You don’t even seem drunk! Thefuck is this?!

Alison Williams
That’s because Brenton Cyrus is straightedge, he doesn’t drink!

Brenton Cyrus smiles bashfully.

Carver Ocean
I SAW HIM!

Alison Williams
You saw him drink water. I drank that bottle of GreyGoose and filled it myself!

Tommy Cornell
You fool!

John Greed
Has anyone else noticed Carver Ocean pissed himself?

Everyone erupts into laughter. Carver Ocean stands bewildered. His face a
bright embarrassed red. Slowly he begins to look down, where a stain is
forming on the crotch of his jeans.

Alison Williams
Gross Brenton! He peed himself! Take me inside.

Still laughing at Carver Ocean the guests, along with Brenton Cyrus and
Alison Williams head back up the steps into the house. Carver Ocean
reaches into his pocket, removing the beer bottle.

Carver Ocean
I didn’t pee myself! It was this beer bottle!

Nick Ridicule shakes his head and he steps into the mansion, looking around. His phone begins to go off in his pocket.

[I can't wait for you to shut me up]
[And make me hip like badass]
[I can't wait for you to shut me up]
[Shut it up]

Nick Ridicule
Hey! Everything is going according to plan. Give me about an hour to sign the contract. I think we are about to eat dinner.

He waits, listening.

Nick Ridicule
They’ve done everything needed in order to pull this off.

He smiles.

Nick Ridicule
Perfect.

Nick Ridicule hangs up the phone slipping it back into his pocket. He
enters the dining room, looking around at all the other guests. Nick
Ridicule sits next to Claire with his family to the right. Dinner is
served.

John Greed
First we’ll be having a delectable pear salad.

Tommy Cornell
Where’s the meat?

John Greed
Relax Tommy, this is a civilized meal. The meat comes out last.

Tommy Cornell
John look.

John Greed looks over to see Tommy Cornell pointing at Nick Ridicule and James Shark, both men snarling at one another.

Tommy Cornell
Good thing there are so many knives on this table. For all the tension cutting, since the meat comes out last.

John Greed rolls his eyes as the servants clear the table for the next meal. The next meal is served.

John Greed
Now we’ll be having clam chowder and the waiters will be taking drink orders.

Tommy Cornell
Drinks! While I wait for my meat.

Brenton Cyrus mingles with both Nick Ridicule and James Shark. Alison
Williams feeds Claire some soup. The waiters deliver drinks and clear
the table.

John Greed
Are you ready for the meat Tommy?

Tommy Cornell
Not as much Alison, but yeah I’m hungry.

The waiters bring in the sirloin steaks and places them around to the guests.

Tommy Cornell
Finally! Some meat.

All the guests enjoy the meal and the conversation. When the meal is
over the waiters take coffee or tea orders and clear the table. The
waiters dish out the coffee, giving Brenton Cyrus his tea and his
daughter Claire a bottle. Carver Ocean enters the house and walks in the
dining room up to Brenton Cyrus.

■■□Brenton Cyrus□■■
Are you looking for something to eat hobo? Cause I’ve got enough food to feed the needy.

Tommy Cornell
BURN!

Carver Ocean
I’m far too drunk to enjoy a meal, unlike some people.

■■□Brenton Cyrus□■■
Then what are you doing here?

Carver Ocean
I changed my pants.

■■□Brenton Cyrus□■■
That’s nice. No one wants to smell your pee stained pants.

Carver Ocean
I thought about my obsession with outshining you and Tommy Cornell was right, I was being a fool.

Tommy Cornell
A fool who pissed himself!

■■□Brenton Cyrus□■■
It’s good you realized that, hopefully you won’t forget in your drunken state.

Carver Ocean
Oh I won’t forget tonight. I’ll never forget tonight.

Carver Ocean hold his hand out.

Carver Ocean
I want to offer a truce.

Behind his back, not only does Carver Ocean have his fingers crossed he
also slips a powder substance into the tea of Brenton Cyrus. Brenton
Cyrus looks at the hand of Carver Ocean, then shakes his head.

■■□Brenton Cyrus□■■
Not a chance. But we can let bygones be bygones.

Carver Ocean
I’d like that, perhaps I can have my RV keys back. Since you technically didn’t beat me.

■■□Brenton Cyrus□■■
Again, not a chance.

Carver Ocean
Fine. I’d like to purpose a toast, to Brenton Cyrus, the man, the myth, the legend! GOD OF GODS! Outshiner of all that is holy.

Carver Ocean grabs the water glass in front of Brenton Cyrus and holds it up.

Everyone
To Brenton Cyrus!


Everyone drinks. Then Death Angel brings out special birthday cake, pushing Carver Ocean out of his way.

Death Angel
I’ve made a special cake for Brenton Cyrus.

Death Angel cuts into the cake and everyone notices the cake bleeding in
front of them. Death Angel struggles to cut a slice as everyone stares.

Tommy Cornell
Stripper in the FUCKING CAKE MAN!!

John Greed
That’s just wrong.

Alison Williams gets up and picks up Claire.

Alison Williams
A dead stripper in a cake is just about enough for me. Brenton meet me upstairs to tuck Claire in.

Alison Williams winks and leaves the dining room

John Greed
I wonder if the girl in the cake is the stripper from earlier.

Tommy Cornell
I hope not, she was my Tuesday night delight.

Death Angel
Does anyone want some cake?

A rumble of no’s erupt in the room as the guests get out of there seats.

Tommy Cornell
Yeah, I don’t eat strippers. Dead or alive.

John Greed
Same.

■■□Brenton Cyrus□■■
Next will be the contract signing, if you could all head outside I’ll be joining you shortly.

Everyone leaves the dining room as fast as they can as Death-Angel begins eating the cake.

Tommy Cornell
Well that was disturbing, but it’s just another wild twist to come from this Bday Bash!

John Greed
I don’t think I can handle anymore of this, what else could possible happen?

Tommy Cornell
We still have the contract signing for the main event of City of Evil coming up!

John Greed
Once they sign the contract the biggest match of this year will be official!

Tommy Cornell
It will also mark the official end of this party and the end of the NLWF lockout.

Tommy Cornell
Just waiting on Brenton Cyrus to get us officially underway with this contract signing!

John Greed
He said he would be right with us, but now we’re just sort of playing the waiting game.

Tommy Cornell
Perhaps we should consider another joy ride in the Ferrari?

John Greed
Sounds good to…

From the mansion sounds of passion are heard. The moans of Alison Williams not only fill the house, but can be heard outside.

Tommy Cornell
IF HE’S GETTING A JOY RIDE, WE SHOULD CERTAINLY GET ANOTHER!

John Greed
Sounds like Alison is the one getting the joy ride!

Nick Ridicule sits on one side of the podium, looking out into the crowd
of people, a smirk on his face. Alison Williams storms out of the
mansion passing by Tommy Cornell and John Greed. She hurries to her car,
throwing her bag into the back seat as she mumbles to herself.

Tommy Cornell
Where are you going? Don’t you want to see how this party turns out?

John Greed
Yeah, don’t you want to see Nick Ridicule and James Shark make things official?

Alison Williams ignores them and she gets into her car. She starts it up and drives away quickly.

Tommy Cornell
She probably didn’t hear us.

John Greed
Right, I’m sure that’s it.

With everyone starting to get restless waiting for Brenton Cyrus, Tommy Cornell and John Greed get everyone’s attention.

Tommy Cornell
Everyone, it is time for a contract signing!

John Greed
Gather around as the two biggest stars in the industry get set to sign a
piece of paper that makes it ok for them to kill each other at City of
Evil!

Tommy Cornell and John Greed walk over to the podium, where James Shark and Nick Ridicule are waiting at each side.

Tommy Cornell
This match is several years in the making! It was here in the NLWF where
Nick Ridicule defeated James Shark and it was in the other company
where James Shark defeated Nick Ridicule. Now they will meet again, this
time with the prize of being NLWF Champion on the line!

John Greed
It all comes down to this one epic encounter!

Tommy Cornell
The life of the No Limit Wrestling Federation depends on the performance of there two men!

John Greed
This will truly be a make it or break it event, with the futures of everyone on the line!

Tommy Cornell
No more waiting, it’s time to sign on the dotted line!

John Greed
This is what all night has been building up to!

The crowd begins to cheer and Nick Ridicule stands up. He takes a step
over and stands behind the podium. He looks down at a seated James
Shark, then he looks out at all the people.

Nick Ridicule
You ask anyone, what the most important thing
to Nick Ridicule is, and I’m sure the ones with even a half wit, will
tell you that it’s the No Limit Wrestling Federation Championship!

The crowd claps and cheers.

Nick Ridicule
I did more for this company as the NLWF
Champion than anyone else did in the years that it was open! I
represented the brand of NLWF action in a way that could not, would not,
be duplicated. All other NLWF Champions were immediately deemed
failures, because I had raised the bar so high that the only way you
could touch it, is by having the ability to fly!

Nick Ridicule is handed a black briefcase. He opens it and pulls out the original NLWF Championship belt.

Nick Ridicule
Defeating Shark means that I will get
everything I’ve given, back. All the sacrifices I made so that NLWF
would survive, only for the fed to be swept from under my feet. I get it
all back when I destroy James Shark at City of Evil. It will be the
culmination of my career, like things coming full circle for me.

Nick Ridicule lifts the contract in one hand and the original NLWF
Championship up in the other. He places both of them down on the podium
in front of him, then he grabs the pen and signs the contract.

Nick Ridicule
Shark, it’s a shame you have to be the sheep
that is brought to the slaughter, but who else could I use as the
sacrificial lamb of the NLWF restart? I’ve not only beaten them all, but
I have destroyed them all! I outmatched Corey Casey in brutality,
outmatched Chuck Matthews in a battle of brains. At City of Evil, I will
out hype you James Shark and I will prove to the entire world that I am
still the very best!

Nick Ridicule places the pen down, then he takes the NLWF title and
holds it up again. He places the belt back into the briefcase, then he
has a seat.

Tommy Cornell
Half of the main event has just become official! Nick Ridicule will be in Las Vegas, Nevada for City of Evil!

John Greed
It’s all up to James Shark now to make this thing official!

James Shark stands up and looks out at the crowd. He reaches into his
pockets and pulls out two large stacks of cash. James Shark throws both
stacks up high into the air and watches as the money rains down on the
party goers.

Tommy Cornell
JAMES SHARK JUST MADE IT RAIN!

John Greed
Those are all hundred dollar bills!

Tommy Cornell and John Greed join in with the partiers trying to grab
money as it falls. James Shark steps up to the podium and smirks.

James Shark
Who ready for City of Evil?

The crowd pops loud, still trying to bring down the cash. It stops
raining money and James Shark has the attention of the people.

James Shark
Psshhh! Ridicule talkin all kinds of garbage! He would have you thinkin
he beat me in both fights! That’s not the case! I ruined his ass in IWF
and I’ll be doin it again!

James Shark looks at the contract.

James Shark
City of Evil, all the hype you thought you killed of mine, it’s all comin back to bury you!

James Shark takes the pen and signs the contract.

Tommy Cornell
He signed! IT’S ON! NICK RIDICULE VERSUS JAMES SHARK AT CITY OF EVIL!

John Greed
No turning back for either man now!

James Shark tosses the pen down and he looks at Nick Ridicule who is staring at him from his chair.

James Shark
You just gonna sit there checking me out homie?

Nick Ridicule stands up and the two chest bump as they stand face to face in front
of the podium. Brenton Cyrus stumbles from the house, grabbing onto a
pillar. He staggers to the press conference and stands between the two
main eventers of City of Evil.

■■□Brenton Cyrus□■■
CITY OF EVIL IS NOT CANCELLED!

Tommy Cornell
WE KNOW THAT!

John Greed
Yeah, they already signed!

Brenton Cyrus looks around confused.

■■□Brenton Cyrus□■■
Oh.. Well give it up for the two men who do battle at City of Evil!

The people claps hands and cheer loudly as Nick Ridicule and James Shark play to the reactions.

■■□Brenton Cyrus□■■
Do either of you have any last words before you square off again for pictures?

Nick Ridicule shakes his head.

Nick Ridicule
Everything I need to say will be said inside the ring at City of Evil!

James Shark
Same!

Brenton Cyrus takes a step back and the two men go face to face again.
They chatter back and forth at each other as flashes from cameras go off
like a strobe light.

Tommy Cornell
I NEED ANOTHER KNIFE!

John Greed
Stop cutting the tension!

Brenton Cyrus separates them again, but neither man sits down. They continue to stand, staring past Brenton Cyrus at each other.

■■□Brenton Cyrus□■■
I have a challenge to make as well for City of Evil. An
inter-promotional challenge so to speak. I have made challenge after
challenge only to be declined at every turn. Now I am making the biggest
challenge of all. Brenton Cyrus defending the World Heavyweight Title
against Corey Casey, the man he forfeited the belt to years ago!

Tommy Cornell
That would be the greatest co-main event in City of Evil history, maybe even NLWF history!

John Greed
I’ve always been a fan of Corey Casey, HE HAS TO ACCEPT THIS MATCH!

Brenton Cyrus starts to shake his head. He turns pale and falls backwards as the sound of a gunshot fires off.

Tommy Cornell
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?

John Greed
You alright?

V.I.P hit’s the ground, having dived in front of James Shark who would
have taken the bullet. V.I.P lays moaning and groaning. The party people
scatter wildly, fighting to get as far away as they can. Brenton Cyrus
manages to get back to his feet, checking V.I.P on his way up.

Tommy Cornell
Holy shit, someone tried to kill Brenton Cyrus or James Shark!

John Greed
Who done it?

Team Swag covers James Shark and surrounds him. They begin to escort him
away from the house to the limousine. They get James Shark into the
limo, then get inside with him and speed away. Brenton Cyrus staggers
and almost falls again, but Nick Ridicule keeps him up.

■■□Brenton Cyrus□■■
What happened?

Brenton Cyrus looks around in a panic, then he looks to where the crowd
was standing to see Carver Ocean standing, looking around as well.

■■□Brenton Cyrus□■■
You!

Brenton Cyrus runs away from Nick Ridicule. He calmly steps away,
looking at the mansion with a smile. Nick Ridicule casually walks away
from the mansion as Brenton Cyrus is arrested. As cars and RV’s pull
away, the ford limousine pulls up. Johnny Styles is already inside,
motioning for Nick Ridicule and Robbie Hart to hurry up. Behind the two
men, the mansion explodes, erupting into a mess of flames. They hurry
into the limousine and speed away, leaving the cameramen behind.

No One Questions the No Limit Wrestling Federation Champion

Toronto, Ontario, Canada
The show returns on Nick Ridicule inside a limousine.

Nick Ridicule
We are headed to the airport to fly to Brazil,
after having spent the day at the police station, getting questioned. I
refused to say a single word to them. You can imagine how much trouble
that got me into. But I don’t answer to anyone! They wouldn’t let me
bring the camera crew in for interrogation which turned out to be a
blessing. Also once they watched the tape of what happened, they could
see I had nothing to do with it.

Nick Ridicule shrugs.

Nick Ridicule
If the glove don’t fit. It was a complete waste
of my day though. Now we’re forced to catch the latest possible flight
out to Brazil. We’ll get there no problem. Got a party we are going to
tonight, no cameras. Robbie got us invited, so it would be rude not to
show up at least for a bit. What the worst that could happen.

Everyone begins to laugh.

Nick Ridicule
Since I wont have much of an opportunity to say
anything tonight, I thought I was shoot it straight right here and now
on our way out of Canada. At that press conference, at the birthday
bash, I could see a look on the face of James Shark, that I have seen on
so many faces before.

Nick Ridicule nods while looking directly into the camera.

Nick Ridicule
It was fear. James Shark recognizes me as his
worst nightmare, with good reason. I am the man who has it in him to end
all of the hype. He thought it was bad when I ended the small amount of
hype back in the day. Imagine what it will be like when I end three
plus years of his hype now.

Johnny Styles claps his hands together.

Johnny Styles
It will be a career ender! I’m giving you the nickname of The Streak Stopper!

Nick Ridicule is nudged by his dad.

Nick Ridicule
I’ll take it. No one is as streaky as James
Shark. I heard he’s on a six month winning streak and before that he was
on a nine month winning streak. I can’t confirm or deny that, but it
seems legit. I’ll be the Streak Stopper, I’ll kill the hype again, I’ll
hold the No Limit Wrestling Federation Championship gold above my head
and watch as no one can do a damn thing about it!

Robbie Hart shakes his head.

Robbie Hart
I think you’ve been too soft on James Shark so far, I know it’s only
been a week, but how about you hit him with some uncensored shit!

Nick Ridicule
You want it raw? You want it uncut? I’ll give it to you all uncensored!

Nick Ridicule takes a sip of water and clears his throat.

Nick Ridicule
This has been a long time coming, I promise
it’ll be worth the wait. James Shark is going to fall hard in this
fight. He’s going to fall down into a dark hole, one where not many can
climb out of. He’ll fall so low, he may even take a page from his momma,
become crack addicted to! The only difference is, James Shark, you’ll
be addicted to the cracks that I deliver you!

Robbie Hart
You’re gonna turn him out into a straight up Ridicule junkie!

Nick Ridicule
That’s the plan. Trash Talk Royalty aint got
nothing old school Ridicule! Shark, you may have come from trash to
royalty, but I’m a guy who was created in the dirt, the muck, the mud. I
come from the lowest of the low, who have been known to surpass the
highest of the high! I am the jewel in the lotus, while you are garbage
from trash! I’ll whoop your ass so bad this time, you’ll act like your
dad, and scram! You did it once before, what makes anyone think you wont
again?

Johnny Styles
Maybe he’s changed, maybe he can take his beating like a man!

Nick Ridicule
Change? The only change James Shark knows, is
asking for it on the street corners, cardboard sign in hand! He wouldn’t
know change if it slapped him in the face, and I fully plan to do so! I
am change. I am evolution. James Shark now is the same James Shark he
was back then, minus some fat! He’s still a complete joke who will choke
on the big stage.

Robbie Hart
I teamed with the guy, you may be underestimating him!

Nick Ridicule
Underestimating him? It’s everyone who is
underestimating me. James Shark has never done anything in the NLWF, but
fail. Now that he’s here with even more hype, why would anything else
change? All he did was make it easier for me to lift his formerly fat
ass up for power moves. James Shark should have taken a lesson from
fucking Brooklyn Carter, he should have pulled out when he had the
chance, now he’s fucked!

Everyone in the car begins to laugh, even the cameramen.

Nick Ridicule
I still don’t even think he’ll make it to City
of Evil, that belief alone has allowed me to completely focus on myself,
focus on what Nick Ridicule will bring to City of Evil, not some never
was who is only in this match because he was in the right place at the
right time!

I am insulted by anyone who believes in James Shark. I believed in James
Shark once and he let me down, I can only imagine what you’ll think
when he lets you down as well. Not only that, but when he lets the NLWF
down. You think anyone wants to see the guy who killed the NLWF, as the
NLWF champion? James Shark was brought in to feed on Nick Ridicule and
become the next torch carrier to light the path for NLWF.

Nick Ridicule shakes his head.

Nick Ridicule
Over my dead body!

Nick Ridicule flips off the camera as the limousine stops in front of the airport. The shot fades away.

UFC Weigh-Ins

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
A camera turns on showing the face of Nick Ridicule.

Nick Ridicule
I told the HBO cameramen that we would be
staying in my hut, so they declined the opportunity to come to Brazil.
Instead they’ll meet up with us in Vegas.

Frank Hart
We should be in Vegas right now, training for your fight with Shark!

Frank Hart can be clearly heard in the background.

Nick Ridicule
Today is the weigh in for UFC 153, Anderson
Silva has asked me to be in his corner for his bout against Stephen
Bonnar. He took this fight on short notice to save the card like I did.
I’m only going to record a few things while here in Brazil, such as the
weigh in, the actual fight, but the stress of this show has already
begun to take a toll on me, so I’m going to relax and train some more
here, before kicking it into high gear for the rest of the month ahead..
Hey, what does this red light mean? Does it...

The shot cuts to black.
